seed changes

[Cody A.W. Somerville]

Hello Everyone,

 It is evident to me that this discussion has degraded from the discussion
of technical merits of the applications seeded to something much more
emotionally charged. Before you make your next reply, I'd ask that everyone
take a deep breath and focus on the issue at hand - the current seeds. If
there is an issue with the Xubuntu development model, vision, philosophies,
etc. then we need to discuss those in a seperate threads to allow us to
articulately and effectively discuss each issue.

In the mean time, can Lionel, Jani, Gauvain (the three core-devs most
involved in Xubuntu at this time) agree to abstain from modifying the seeds
further besides resolving our ISO build issues until a consensus is agreed
upon by the team (and yes, this includes Jani in my humble opinion). This
isn't the time in the development cycle to be making big changes to our
application selection as the release is only a few short months away.
Considering that we only got one test report for Alpha 4, demonstrating the
lack of testing Xubuntu receives, I encourage us to be conservative in our
changes that deviate from what we know to be stable and reliable (either we
decide that to be the seeds prior to Jani's reversal or post).

Unfortunately some of us are going to have to bite our tongues this release
as I don't see us resolving certain conflicts before the release is made.

Please remember: Development needs to occur concurrently with those
discussions. This is only a project. I do not believe there is a need for
anyone to get angry or start throwing around emotionally charged statements.
This is a LTS and we need to pull together to make that happen.

As for my opinion, I think I need more time to weigh both sides. However,
saying Xubuntu is almost as bloated/slow as Ubuntu now is pure ludicrous.

Thanks,

Cody A.W. Somerville
